Cuando el amor lo percibimos como un caparazón

 

 

SAFE AND SOUND

 

I could lift you up.

I could show you what you wanna see

and take you where you wanna be.

You could be my luck

even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound.

We're safe and sound.

I could fill your cup.

You know my river won't evaporate

this world we still appreciate.

You could be my luck

even in a hurricane of frowns

I know that we'll be safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

We're safe and sound,

safe and sound.

 

 

 

We're safe and sound.

Hold your ground.

We're safe and sound,

safe and sound.

I could show you love

in a tidal wave of mystery

you'll still be standing next to me.

You could be my luck

even if we're six feet underground.

I know that we'll be safe and sound.

We're safe and sound.

Safe and sound.

Hold your ground

safe and sound.

 

 

 

I could lift you up.

I could show you what you wanna see

and take you where you wanna be.

You could be my luck

even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound.

I could lift you up.

I could show you what you wanna see

and take you where you wanna be.

You could be my luck

even if the sky is falling down.

I know that we'll be safe and sound.

We're safe and sound,

safe and sound.

Hold your ground.

We're safe and sound,

safe and sound.

 SANOS Y SALVOS

 

Yo podría levantarte el ánimo,

mostrarte lo que desees ver

y conducirte a donde quieras llegar.

Tú podrías significar una fortuna.

Incluso si el cielo se derrumbase,

sé que permaneceríamos intactos,

porque juntos nos sentimos seguros.

Yo sabría cubrir tus expectativas.

 

 

 

Sabes que no dilapidaré

todas aquellas cosas

del mundo que todavía amamos.

Tú podrías darme suerte,

porque hasta riñendo y enfadados

o sacudidos por un huracán devastador,

sabríamos sentirnos a salvo.

Juntos somos indestructibles.

 

 

 

Podría ocultarte mi amor

tras una máscara de misterio

y a pesar de eso seguirías junto a mí.

Contigo soy el hombre más feliz del mundo

porque hasta sepultados

bajo tres metros de tierra

sé que saldríamos ilesos

cual Lázaro resucitado de la tumba.

Juntos podemos afrontar los peligros

y superar cualquier derrota futura.

 

(Traducción de Andrés González Déniz)
